Passage Summary: Some people hate the truth and some people want it. If the truth-haters follow the rule 'do to others what you want done to you,' they'll end up hiding the truth from the people who actually want to know it.

Conclusion: If people who prefer to avoid unpleasant truths follow the Golden Rule, they will withhold painful information from others, even those who want to hear it.

Reasoning: The Golden Rule dictates treating others as you want to be treated; therefore, those who want the truth withheld from themselves will withhold it from everyone else.

Analysis: This 'Complete the Argument' question is a logic puzzle regarding the application of a moral principle. The 'Golden Rule' here acts as a rigid formula: My Preference = My Action Toward Others. Since the first group prefers to have 'unpleasant truths' withheld, their adherence to the rule forces them to withhold those truths from everyone else. The irony, of course, is that by following a 'kind' rule, they end up upsetting the second group. Look for an answer that completes this logical chain by describing the behavior of the first group toward the second.
